A train on the Sixth avenue elevated railroad at New York, crowded with pas sengers, was thrown from the track near the Franklin street station in West Broad way Tuesday afternoon. The cars would have fallen into the street but for the fact that at the point where the accident took place third track is being put in over the middle of the street, and timbers to sus- tain the additional track had been thrown across between the tracks on the sides of the street. The derailed train was there fore sustained by theee timbers. The pas sengers were terribly frightened and panic stricken but no one was hurt. The acci. dent is attributed to broken rail, but will not be fully explained until an inves- tigation has been made. This is the first time in the history of the elevated roads that cars have entirely left the track SO as to be in danger of falling to the street. The officials have always claimed that such 8 thing was impossible. ....s

let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump-

to recommend it to the poor, dying

The THINGS That REMAIN.-A
great deal of time is spent in mourn
ing over the things that are gone.-
Do we try as we ought to strengthen
the things that remain? Much in
every. life, no matter what has
faded and gone, is always left-mucl1
of blessing, of sweetness, of reason
for thankfulness. Much in every
home, however changed, still contin-
ues true and beautiful and TENDER
If we have given up some dear and

NIT the folly of mourning for them in
such a fashion that we alternate the
love and cloud the happiness of those
who are with us.
